Re: X10 still around?

["Wayne Lundberg" <Waynelund@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I take it that top posting is acceptable in this newsgroup?
What I missed (miss) with the X-10 system is feedback such as IR or other
sensors. Having played a bit with the Basic Stamp, I can see where the 'home
automation' art could go, and looking through a few sites from people in
this group, I see a huge leap in technology and I am overwhelmed. Time to go
back to kindergarten. Your site looks like a good place to start. Thanks!
